Chapter 509
It can be said that Otto held a position in Freya's heart similar to that of an adoptive father.
For this reason, Freya's feelings toward him became even more complicated.
Otto wasn't without his mistakes, just as Freya made mistakes. Otto also made many mistakes, but he never regretted them. Even if he were given another chance, he would still do the same thing.
In fact, if Freya had known that it was not suitable to study the power of consciousness in their parallel world, she would not have created a multi-structured consciousness world in that world.
As it turns out, the humans in that world were too weak to resist the powerful attraction from the world of consciousness.
Leaving aside those who become addicted to it, many people who escape that world of consciousness immediately feel despair upon returning to the real world and then choose to return to the world of consciousness once again.
For them, everything in the world of consciousness is too wonderful. Those who strive receive the rewards and encouragement they deserve, while no one steps forward to blame those who give up for their downfall.
Everyone can find their place in that multi-structured world of consciousness, and as a result, human civilization in that world came to a complete standstill. If given another chance, Freya would never do that.
Otto had no regrets; he was simply waiting for the Moon Civilization to provide a train to the Sea of Quanta.
Freya smiled, quickly putting Otto out of her mind, and happily wrapped her arms around Rita's waist, telling her that she would soon be able to relax. Although the time she would be able to relax wouldn't be long, Freya didn't mind spending that time with Rita.
595. Leave no regrets.
At the very top of the white Tower of the Finality, a figure looked up at the ever-approaching planet and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It seems we've suffered a significant loss this time."
"That's because you underestimated them."
An annoyed voice came from behind. The woman, who had just reached the top floor, replied mercilessly with a critical tone after hearing the other person's exclamation.
"Don't say that, Mei... I can retain souls. Even if they all die, they'll just be put into new bodies."
"Creating bodies isn't a zero-cost process. Besides, doing so would only stagnate our development. If you make concessions like this, we might also be defeated."
Mei glanced at the figure, then looked at the giant planet that was gradually approaching in the night sky.
The Abyss Civilization has fallen into this state entirely because of this bastard.
More importantly, he underestimated Theresa's attitude.
"I really don't understand why you had to provoke Theresa. If you had talked things out with Freya properly and both of you had compromised, things wouldn't have come to this. Given Freya's personality, she would never have stirred up Mars..."
"I know."
FU did not intend to defend himself.
Just as Mei said, Freya is indeed like that. Even though she has the ability to tether Mars, she will make tethering Mars a condition because of the success rate.
"The reason we were so passive this time is because of Theresa, whom I have been ignoring. Freya very strong. She can turn into a ferocious dragon to protect the people she cares about. But she also has a very obvious weakness. As long as the life or death of the people she cares about is used as a threat, she will obediently put on the shackles."
It is precisely because Freya is willing to tie her own hands for the sake of those she cares about that FU will take a slow and steady approach, gradually eroding her Moon Civilization.
"It's also because I didn't include Theresa in my initial calculations that I underestimated her role. Even if Freya had the ability to manipulate Mars, she would only use it as a condition to talk to us. She never intended to use this ability to attack us. It was Theresa who changed her mind."
FU approached Theresa this time precisely to test whether Freya had returned.
As a result, he was thoroughly humiliated by Theresa he had never taken seriously.
When Mars actually crashed into Earth, FU felt so tired and kept muttering that the Kaslana family were all idiots.
"Seriously, are the Kaslana family all that stubborn? Would luring Mars into Earth benefit their Moon Civilization? If it fails, wouldn't they be in an even more passive position? Besides, so what if Earth is destroyed? For us, it's just a loss of a few years of effort."
The more FU said this, the more resentment he harbored.
"At this point, there's no need to think about anything else. Mei, have all our resources been transferred?"
"Only half has been transferred. The base established in the Centaur star system doesn't have enough storage space. If it's not stored properly, it will cause some resource loss."
Mei reported on the current situation, and to be honest, the Abyss Civilization has really suffered a huge loss this time.
As a resource-rich planet, Earth is relatively abundant in resources. It is precisely because of Earth's rich resources and abundant fuel that human civilization on this planet has been able to restart time and time again.
Of course, if a planet's resources are depleted and the civilizations that have evolved on it have not yet broken through the barriers, the planet will eventually perish due to depletion.
In fact, there are many springboards in the solar system where this planet is located. If they focus on studying space technology and send spaceships to other planets, they can collect a large amount of higher-quality aviation fuel from these planets. It is a real pity to lose such a main planet.
"It seems that we have to give up the undiscovered resources and the large amount of accumulated resources. Speaking of which, Mei, if the Centaur star system can't handle the burden, then let's teleport to a parallel world. Even if there are losses during the teleportation process, it's better than losing everything after Mars."
At this time, FU also made his own choice.
"That being said, Freya and Theresa gave me such generous gifts, I should at least reciprocate. Well, not to upset them, but so that they won't have any regrets before they leave this world—"
"You have such a twisted sense of humor..."
Mei glanced at the other person with her lowered eyes and pursed her lips.
The massive planet, exuding an intense sense of oppression, drew closer. If it weren't for the humanoid Honkai Beast' instinctive obedience to higher-ranking Honkai Beast and their complete obedience to FU's commands, the mere sight of the approaching giant planet would have been enough to make them scream wildly and abandon their posts.
Depart.
Seeking new horizons.
Theresa's speech gave many Valkyrie a glimpse into the future, and even the next day, many people continued to discuss the topic.
Time flies. In the blink of an eye, there are only three days left until Mars comes into contact with Earth's gravity, and only three hours left until the Moon is transferred to a parallel world.
Freya and Kevin remained on guard against FU's counterattack.
She and Kevin didn't think that with FU's terrible personality, he would not retaliate after being tricked by Theresa.
However, FU seemed to be making the most of the time to move resources, mobilizing all the Honkai Beast to frantically transfer resources.
"Freya, the mobile module has entered pre-loading mode and can be teleported to a parallel world at any time. It seems that your and Kevin's premonition was wrong."
Fu Hua spoke.
To guard against Himeko's surprise attack or other means, Freya and Kevin chose to stay at their base on the lunar surface.
As a part of the moon that was inevitably lost during the process of being transported to a parallel world, the lunar base that Ryoma painstakingly built is now completely deserted.
All the survivors and Valkyrie were transferred to the modified lunar core. All the buildings on the lunar surface, along with most of the outer shell, were used to pay for this teleportation.
In the empty lunar base, Fu Hua's words echoed, but received no response from Freya and Kevin. The air in the base seemed to freeze.
Time seemed to pass by unusually slowly.
Freya and Kevin both closed their eyes, waiting for FU's counterattack.
Seeing that the two were so persistent, Fu Hua waited silently.
A long hour has passed, and only two hours remain until a safe transfer.
Although the mobile module can teleport freely after entering preload mode, the risks of teleporting in advance are enormous. If it only results in the loss of some of the moon's total volume, it is still within Freya's acceptable range. However, if the moon is torn apart directly, the members of the Moon Civilization will be exposed to the Sea of Quantum.
Even the Valkyrie lack the ability to resist assimilation by the Sea of Quantum, let alone the survivors who are merely ordinary people.
As the optimal time for the transfer approached, Freya and Kevin frowned, their expressions growing increasingly grave.
There is one hour left before we are transported from the moon to the parallel world.
The situation, which felt like a countdown, caused Freya's heart to beat faster and faster.
"One hour left."
"Fifty minutes left."
Kevin slowly opened his eyes and, upon hearing Freya's countdown, couldn't help but gaze at the distant blue planet through the glass ceiling of the base.
"... Forty minutes left."
After a while, he also started the countdown with Freya.
The Moon Civilization is about to depart, yet it still cannot find a way for FU to retaliate.
Mars is approaching from afar, even closer to Earth than it was yesterday, and the pressure it exudes is something even Kevin has to take seriously.
"Thirty minutes left."
"I don't think he's coming."
Fu Hua looked at Freya and Kevin's increasingly serious and vigilant posture and couldn't help but smile wryly.
Although Fu Hua and Fu Hua share the same idol, they have very little interaction, which is why Fu Hua unaware of Fu Hua's true nature.
Freya only inherited about 70% of that person's stinginess and pettiness.
If it were Freya, she would definitely retaliate.
"Twenty minutes left."
Freya continued counting down, but her mood had become unusually heavy.
The quieter FU was, the more Freya worried about how fierce his counterattack would be.
"The final ten minutes."
As soon as Kevin finished speaking, Fu Hua, who hadn't cared much before, also showed a serious expression.
Although she felt that the rulers of the Abyss Civilization wouldn't be so bored, she also trusted Kevin and Freya's judgment.
The closer it got to the time of their teleportation, the more worried Freya became about something going wrong.
She maintains a spiritual link with Aurora in another world is responsible for guiding the moon's teleportation process.
Even the slightest error in the coordinates could cause the half-moon sphere to get stuck, and then, under the pull of the Sea of Quantum, be dragged into its depths.
Freya was restless. She got up from the hard bench and paced back and forth anxiously.
Right now, her biggest worry is that FU will only launch his revenge the moment he is teleported to the moon.
The countdown ended, and the last minute felt longer than Freya had imagined.
Freya and Kevin both looked up at the blue planet, counting down the last minute in their hearts.

Teleportation begins—
The entire moon began to shake violently, and the space around the moon began to distort, as if trying to suck in the distortion.
Freya and Kevin's hearts were in their throats at that moment.
The transmission process is irreversible, and once it begins, interference could easily lead to an accident.
So, just as Freya and Kevin had anticipated, FU's revenge came.
"Damn it! That bastard!! I should have just killed him!!"
Upon discovering FU's methods of revenge, Freya gritted her teeth and cursed loudly.
"Freya?"
